Purebase provides its blended supplementary cementitious material to UC Davis Pavement Research Center for concrete test track - Updated
Purebase (OTCQB: PUBC) announced that its blended metakaolin supplementary cementitious material (SCM) will be used in the UC Davis Pavement Research Center's (UCPRC) upcoming concrete pavement test track in 2024. This is part of UCPRC's Sustainable Concrete Lab-to-Slab Initiative, which aims to evaluate low-carbon cements and SCMs beyond traditional coal fly ash and slag. The initiative is supported by the ACI Foundation, California Department of Transportation, and the Federal Highway Administration's Sustainable Pavements Program Cooperative Center.
The project involves constructing three successive slabs using novel sustainable materials, with each test section requiring approximately 2.5 cubic yards of concrete. If successful, this could lead to widespread implementation of Purebase's SCM in major construction projects across California, supporting the company's goal of decarbonizing the state and eventually the nation.
Purebase (OTCQB: PUBC) ha annunciato che il suo materiale cementizio supplementare metacaolino miscelato sarà utilizzato nella prossima pista di prova per pavimentazioni in calcestruzzo del Pavement Research Center (UCPRC) dell'UC Davis nel 2024. Questo fa parte dell'iniziativa Sustainable Concrete Lab-to-Slab dell'UCPRC, che mira a valutare cementi a basse emissioni di carbonio e materiali cementizi supplementari (SCM) oltre alla tradizionale ceneri volanti di carbone e alla scoria. L'iniziativa è sostenuta dalla ACI Foundation, dal Dipartimento dei Trasporti della California e dal Centro Cooperativo di Programma per Pavimentazioni Sostenibili dell'Amministrazione Federale per le Autostrade.
Il progetto prevede di costruire tre lastre successive utilizzando materiali sostenibili innovativi, con ciascuna sezione di prova che richiede circa 2,5 metri cubi di calcestruzzo. Se avrà successo, questo potrebbe portare a una diffusione dell'uso del SCM di Purebase in grandi progetti di costruzione in tutta la California, supportando l'obiettivo dell'azienda di decarbonizzare lo stato e, infine, la nazione.
Purebase (OTCQB: PUBC) anunció que su material cementicio suplementario de metacaolín mezclado se utilizará en la próxima pista de pruebas para pavimentos de hormigón del Centro de Investigación de Pavimentos de UC Davis (UCPRC) en 2024. Esto es parte de la Iniciativa Sustainable Concrete Lab-to-Slab de UCPRC, que busca evaluar cementos de bajo carbono y SCM más allá de las cenizas volantes de carbón tradicionales y la escoria. La iniciativa cuenta con el apoyo de la Fundación ACI, el Departamento de Transporte de California y el Centro Cooperativo del Programa de Pavimentos Sostenibles de la Administración Federal de Carreteras.
El proyecto implica la construcción de tres losas sucesivas utilizando materiales sostenibles novedosos, con cada sección de prueba requiriendo aproximadamente 2.5 yardas cúbicas de hormigón. Si tiene éxito, esto podría llevar a la implementación generalizada del SCM de Purebase en grandes proyectos de construcción en toda California, respaldando el objetivo de la empresa de descarbonizar el estado y, eventualmente, la nación.
Purebase (OTCQB: PUBC)는 자사의 혼합 메타카올린 보조 시멘트 재료(SCM)가 2024년 UC 데이비스 포장 연구 센터(UCPRC)의 신설 콘크리트 포장 시험 트랙에서 사용될 것이라고 발표했습니다. 이는 전통적인 석탄재 및 슬래그를 넘어 저탄소 시멘트 및 SCM을 평가하는 것을 목표로 하는 UCPRC의 지속 가능한 콘크리트 실험실에서 슬래브로의 이니셔티브의 일환입니다. 이 이니셔티브는 ACI 재단, 캘리포니아 교통부 및 연방 고속도로 관리국의 지속 가능한 포장 프로그램 협력 센터의 지원을 받고 있습니다.
이 프로젝트는 혁신적인 지속 가능한 재료를 사용하여 세 개의 연속 슬래브를 건설하는 것으로, 각 시험 구간에는 약 2.5 입방 야드의 콘크리트가 필요합니다. 성공한다면, 이는 캘리포니아 전역의 주요 건설 프로젝트에서 Purebase의 SCM이 광범위하게 시행되는 길을 열 수 있으며, 회사의 목표인 주와 궁극적으로 국가의 탈탄소화에도 기여할 것입니다.
Purebase (OTCQB: PUBC) a annoncé que son matériau cimentaire complémentaire à base de métakaolin mélangé sera utilisé dans le futur circuit de test de pavage en béton du Centre de recherche sur le pavage de l'UC Davis (UCPRC) en 2024. Cela fait partie de l'initiative Sustainable Concrete Lab-to-Slab de l'UCPRC, qui vise à évaluer les ciments à faible teneur en carbone et les SCM au-delà des cendres volantes traditionnelles et des laitiers. L'initiative bénéficie du soutien de la Fondation ACI, du Département des transports de Californie et du Centre coopératif du programme de pavements durables de l'Administration fédérale des autoroutes.
Le projet consiste à construire trois dalles successives en utilisant des matériaux durables novateurs, chaque section de test nécessitant environ 2,5 mètres cubes de béton. Si cela réussit, cela pourrait conduire à une mise en œuvre généralisée du SCM de Purebase dans de grands projets de construction à travers la Californie, soutenant l'objectif de l'entreprise de décarboniser l'État et, finalement, la nation.
Purebase (OTCQB: PUBC) gab bekannt, dass sein gemischtes Metakaolin-Zusatzmaterial (SCM) im kommenden Testgelände für Betonpavements des Pavement Research Center der UC Davis (UCPRC) im Jahr 2024 eingesetzt wird. Dies ist Teil der Initiative Sustainable Concrete Lab-to-Slab des UCPRC, die darauf abzielt, kohlenstoffarme Zemente und SCMs über traditionelle Kohlenflugasche und Schlacke hinaus zu bewerten. Die Initiative wird von der ACI Foundation, dem kalifornischen Verkehrsministerium und dem Kooperativen Zentrum des Sustainable Pavements Program der Federal Highway Administration unterstützt.
Das Projekt umfasst den Bau von drei aufeinanderfolgenden Platten unter Verwendung neuartiger nachhaltiger Materialien, wobei jeder Testabschnitt etwa 2,5 Kubikmeter Beton benötigt. Wenn dies erfolgreich ist, könnte dies zur weit verbreiteten Anwendung von Purebases SCM in großen Bauprojekten in ganz Kalifornien führen, um das Ziel des Unternehmens zu unterstützen, den Bundesstaat und letztendlich die Nation zu dekarbonisieren.

IONE, CA, Sept. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Purebase Corporation (OTCQB: PUBC), a natural resource development company headquartered in Ione, California, is pleased to announce that the UC Davis Pavement Research Center (UCPRC) will be utilizing Purebase’s blended metakaolin supplementary cementitious material in its upcoming concrete pavement test track this summer or early fall 2024.
UCPRC launched the Sustainable Concrete Lab-to-Slab Initiative, focused on evaluating low-carbon cements and supplementary cementitious materials beyond the traditional coal fly ash and slag. This initiative is supported by organizations such as the ACI Foundation, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)’s Sustainable Pavements Program Cooperative Center (SPPCC).
The Sustainable Concrete Lab-To-Slab Initiative aims to advance sustainable concrete technology by accelerating the implementation of more sustainable binders for structural, pavement, minor, and other concrete applications.
According to UCPRC website, the objective is to construct a series of three successive slabs, each utilizing a novel sustainable material for concrete, with a minimum requirement of approximately 2.5 cubic yards of concrete per test section. This initiative aims to generate invaluable insights at small-scale (no-traffic) test sections into the viability and efficacy of these materials for real-world applications in pilot projects and mainstream construction.
“Through prequalification testing, constructability assessment, QA/QC testing, mid-term monitoring, and environmental and cost life cycle assessment, we are dedicated to evaluating the performance of these materials and helping government and private project owners accelerate their implementation,” said the UCPRC.
“Although UC Davis has tested metrics of our SCM in the past in a lab setting, this is the next step in a project by the UCPRC where we can physically see the performance of the material in a real-life application. If testing of Purebase’s SCM is successful in the concrete pavement test slab, this will open the door for our SCM to be widely utilized and implemented in substantial construction projects across the state of California,” said Purebase CEO, Scott Dockter. “This would be a positive move for Purebase in our goal of decarbonizing California, and eventually, the nation.”
